    Great way to see Old Québec

    This was a great way to learn about the history of Québec City and see the highlights of the old city. Our guide was excellent —knowledgeable and brought the history to life.

    Informative and fun

    Informative and fun - the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Experienced a lot of the city within a short period of time.

    Informative and...

    Informative and delightful guide who knows the history of Quebec City well. If doing this tour in the winter as we did, make sure your feet are warm as this is 100% an outdoor tour where you’re standing on snow and ice quite a bit. It was a great way to get a feel for where things are to start our stay there.

    Guide was great. Tour...

    Guide was great. Tour covered lots of ground and helped us know where we wanted to spend the rest of our time in Quebec City.

    learned a lot

    the guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. the tour felt christmasy because of the decorations and it happened to be snowing but only less than ½ of the tour was about Christmas traditions--the rest was about the history of Quebec--still interesting. the pace could have been faster because the day was very cold.

    Christmas Magic in Old Quebec: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quebec City.

    How much does Christmas Magic in Old Quebec cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quebec City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Christmas Magic in Old Quebec take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quebec City is not rushed.

    Is Christmas Magic in Old Quebec worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quebec City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Christmas Magic in Old Quebec?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Christmas Magic in Old Quebec suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Christmas Magic in Old Quebec?

    +

    Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quebec City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quebec City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Christmas Magic in Old Quebec start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quebec City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Quebec City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Quebec City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Quebec Classique Walking Tour with Funicular, Uncover Old Quebec: Fun Walking Tour with a guide-Gratuity based, Quebec City Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Quebec City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Quebec City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Christmas Magic in Old Quebec?

    +

    Included: Local guide; Professional guide; and Small hot chocolate. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Christmas Magic in Old Quebec?

    +

    Meet your guide in front of the Information Centre at 12, rue Sainte-Anne. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Christmas Magic in Old Quebec offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Christmas Magic in Old Quebec?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Christmas Magic in Old Quebec wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Christmas Magic in Old Quebec if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
